There is now the ability to choose whether you want insurance options to be selected on a per booking basis or a per passenger basis. This allows for flexibility of the operator to let each passenger select a different type of insurance (or decline), or to restrict it to say all passengers must take the same insurance option (whether accepting or declining). This is done by a new DefaultID in the Defaults area of the system called INSURANCEPERRES. By setting this to “Y”, all passengers must take the same insurance options. This can also be done on a per brand basis if each brand would like a different way of handling this (value similar to BRAND1=Y;BRAND2=N

This setting is turned OFF by default, meaning insurance will be per passenger unless specifically turned on |
Why it’s important:
Depending on the tour operator’s business rules or the insurance provider’s rules, this is important to allow for the system to book insurance differently. This also allows for making the whole process of selecting insurance simpler from the passenger’s perspective.

White-labeling
Softrip has added support for a white-label within the Reservations Next system. This allows for showing a different logo on the header of the website as well as a different phone number in the Contact Us popup. This applies specifically for Travel Agencies and the ability for the agency to pass their customers through your website but still brand it with the agency logo. By building a new INV-LOGO booking rule with the CustomerID filter, this logo can then replace your operator’s logo.
To have the system use this new logo and the phone number, a parameter must be passed in the URL of the site. If this is not provided, the site will work as normal. You (or the agency linking to you) will need to add custom=AFF&customCode=[CustomerID] for the system to read this.
Example URL: https://www.mysite.com/product/PROD1?custom=AFF&customCode=12345678
